headquarters in King’s Cross, N1, set for completion in 2017.

The designs show a building that spreads over 1083 ft in width –
wider than The Shard is tall (1018 ft). Features of the 11-storey building
include slides and bean bags. It is expected the complex will be home to around 4,500 Google staff.

Google are believed to have signed a 999 year lease and to
